A report on the Night of Shiva

February 25, 2017

I have always wondered what happens on Shivaratri…do people actually pray at temples all night long? Do people fast? Do people feel a sense of spirituality? And are the whispers that some people sit around playing cards and getting high true? Also what happens in our city on the night of Shiva? Is it crowded?…

A Metrosexual Adventure

February 16, 2017

I go to a barber shop called ‘Big Boss’ right behind my office in Bannimantap. And they do a pretty good job of keeping me pretty, or at least I thought so… until I visited a local fancy hotel’s in-house barber shop or as we ‘neo-sophisticated’ Mysureans call ‘Saaay LON.’ As I walked in, there…

Even Foreign Students Don’t Fear Indian Laws Or Its Lawmen!

February 11, 2017

Yesterday the newspapers reported two incidents about students, both quite disturbing. One was foreign, the other domestic. And shockingly in both cases the students showed no fear for the Law or the Police. First the foreign students: On Thursday, Florence, a 24-year-old woman from Uganda studying in Bengaluru, was murdered. Police Inspector Anjan Kumar rushed…

Netas lusting after  Lalitha !

Two years ago out of the blue our then Tourism Minister R.V. Deshpande told the Karnataka Legislative Assembly that his Ministry would look into various violations committed by ITDC (India Tourism Development Corporation) and terminate the lease signed in 1973 with regard to Lalitha Mahal Palace Hotel. What were these violations? It seems one of…

Kaala Mann & Kaala Dhann

December 10, 2016

While our Prime Minister is telling us his Mann Ki Baat…people are busy with Money Ki Baat. And why not, we love money. We have always loved money. And when it comes to money or benefit, the saying “means justify the end” is meaningless. We only care about the end. That is why we see…

Demonetisation & Hero Worshipping

December 3, 2016

The recent demonetisation has been confusing…we have assumed that war against currency is war against black money. Money or cash constantly changes colour from black to white. It is ok as long as it is circulating within the economy, but money truly becomes black and harmful when non-tax paid cash is hoarded and not circulated…

A train-ride to remember

November 26, 2016

Six years ago I entered the chaotic Chennai Central Station to board the Shatabdi Express to Mysuru. Up ahead at the entrance to my bogie I saw people bending down to touch someone’s feet and many standing with reverence reserved for Godmen or politicians. I squeezed myself through the small mob and got into my…

Boxers, the new nightie for men!

Yesterday morning as I was walking up Chamundi Hill along the parapet, up ahead, I noticed another morning walker enthusiastically walking down with a spring in his step ON the parapet! I found it quite dangerous. What if he fell off to the side? Just as we were about to pass each other he stopped,…

Hypocrisy and Cultural Isolation

September 24, 2016

Every time there is a border intrusion by Pakistani terrorists and our soldiers are shot dead, another manoos…more aptly, a proud Marathi manoos suddenly gets a shot of adrenalin for his political life. Angered over Uri attack on September 18, the Maharashtra Navnirman Sena (MNS) headed by Raj Thackeray has warned Pakistani artists to leave…

Tryst with Fitlana!

July 16, 2016

For a few months, I was entrapped by a mistress. She was omnipresent in my life to a point of suffocation. The only time I got a break from her was when I had to recharge her. Well, if this sounds like a riddle, it’s not. It’s just that I have been wearing a fitness-tracker….
